Priests and Martyrs
The call to persevere in testimony of Jesus before the nations and courts of this world is a key theme of the Book of Revelation . Men and women redeemed by Jesus become a priestly company that transcends all national, social, and cultural boundaries, a “ kingdom of priests ” called and sent to bear witness to what God has accomplished through the death and resurrection of His Son - (Revelation 1:6, 5:9-11, 20:6).
